"Mulan" Douban score dropped to 4.9: A Western story under the guise of Mulan

Disney's live-action film "Mulan" starring Liu Yifei has been officially launched through Disney+. The film's Douban score has dropped from 5.9 points yesterday to 4.9 points. Among the 32,931 reviews, reviews above 3 stars (positive reviews) account for less than 13%.

Currently, Douban's popular short reviews are full of dissatisfaction with "Mulan". Most of the film reviews are 2 stars and 3 stars, of which 2 stars account for 34.2% and 3 stars account for 34.6%. The audience is relatively satisfied with the appearance of Liu Yifei, the actress who plays Mulan, but other than that, netizens seem to have a lot of complaints about other parts of the film.

In the film reviews, many viewers still expressed their dissatisfaction with the film, mainly reflected in the plot arrangement and character creation. Some people said: This is not the Mulan that everyone wants. Some netizens also said that Westerners simply cannot tell our traditional Chinese stories well. The plot arrangement is bad, and the Chinese cultural details are not reflected. It is very awkward to watch. It is completely a "Western story in Mulan's skin", which is quite disappointing.

"Mulan" will be released in mainland China on September 11. At present, it seems that this movie with a Chinese story as the background has not been recognized by most Douban netizens. Let us wait and see how the reputation of the movie will change after its release.
